Wet Scrubber System - Advanced Liquid Scrubbing Technology For Efficient Removal Of Harmful Industrial Emissions | Fine Particulate And Acid Gas Control, Environmentally Safe Operation

Scrubber systems are a diverse group of air pollution control devices that can be used to remove particulates and/or gases from industrial exhaust streams. Traditionally, the term "scrubber" has referred to pollution control devices that used liquid to "scrub" unwanted pollutants from a gas stream. Recently, the term is also used to describe systems that inject a dry reagent or slurry into a dirty exhaust stream to "scrub out" acid gases. Scrubbers are one of the primary devices that control gaseous emissions, especially acid gases.

The exhaust gases of combustion may at times contain substances considered harmful to the environment, and it is the job of the scrubber to either remove those substances from the exhaust gas stream, or to neutralize those substances so that they cannot do any harm once emitted into the environment as part of the exhaust gas stream.

Wet scrubbing
A wet scrubber is used to clean air or other gases of various pollutants and dust particles. Wet scrubbing works via the contact of target compounds or particulate matter with the scrubbing solution. Solutions may simply be water (for dust) or complex solutions of reagents that specifically target certain compounds.

Removal efficiency of pollutants is improved by increasing residence time in the scrubber or by the increase of surface area of the scrubber solution by the use of a spray nozzle, packed towers or an aspirator. Wet scrubbers will often significantly increase the proportion of water in waste gases of industrial processes which can be seen in a stack plume.

Typical wet scrubber
Compliance agencies typically place minimum DP thresholds on wet scrubber.

Typical Applications

• Scrubbing fine particulates and acid gases emitted from incinerators, furnaces and boilers.
• Scrubbing gas phase particulate formations in electronics, chemical and heavy metals industries.
• Sulfur dioxide and hydrochloric acid removal.
